New-ish to Audiogon Forums... Is it always like this?
Having asked quite a few of them, now I consider inane or unanswerable questions to be potential entryways into a dialogue that has a good chance to transform into something useful to both parties. On the receiving end of the help, the gain is obv... 
Proportion of expenses
I vote for speaker first, and amp second, and then whatever. Personally, my speakers are worth more than twice as much as my amp. 
A bit of an epiphany...with humble embarrassment
had a similar experience, as well. In my case one of the speakers seemed to be weaker in volume because of how the soundstage was skewed. But when I held a DBI app on my phone in front of each speaker, the loudness was actually the same. It turns ... 
How does my MF A308 compare to modern integrated amps in the $3000-$6000 range?
Cool. 
How does my MF A308 compare to modern integrated amps in the $3000-$6000 range?
Thanks for the DAC recommendations. That’s a real frontier realm for me.I do generally like clear, sharp, revealing, detailed sound. I’m not sure why. It could be because I haven’t had the opportunity to hear the alternatives much. All the really ... 
How does my MF A308 compare to modern integrated amps in the $3000-$6000 range?
Thanks, everyone. Erik: what speakers do you have? I feel that my MF is a good match with my ATC’s. Obviously, there is a synergy here, let alone all the other factors that others have mentioned. I’m sure it’s true that I need a better DAC, and ot...

Thanks. I’m happy with the sq, but I have no frame of reference regarding other options. 
New-ish to Audiogon Forums... Is it always like this?
I have found the information and help many folks here offer extremely valuable, especially in terms of my decision-making before spending big bucks.On the other hand, I am strongly repelled by those who are unkind, rude, denigrating, or aggressive... 
Anyone know how to determine bitrate/res on Stereophonic?
Sorry, everyone.I think I'll take a break from starting threads for a while. 
Anyone know how to determine bitrate/res on Stereophonic?
I apologize. I’m still recovering from some of the replies to an earlier post.stereophonic is a classical hi-res streaming site. 
Anyone know how to determine bitrate/res on Stereophonic?
When I wonder something, whether it's the bitrate of a song or if there's a way to know such a thing from a given streamer, sometimes I ask folks who might know. That's just the way my mind works. It's like a minor mystery getting solved.If you we... 
Are warm or colored speakers disrespectful of musicians/producer/engineers?
OK. I’m done. Thanks everyone for your responses. 
Are warm or colored speakers disrespectful of musicians/producer/engineers?
I’ll address some concerns that people have brought up.I mentioned warm or colored to differentiate that they were two different things.Personally, I was not concerned as to whether the musicians themselves would feel disrespected. Third, if the t... 
New KEF Reference 5 speakers
Thanks, Greenman. I listen in an unusual room that may make my generalizations invalid. And I haven't heard a recent KEF Reference. But the ones I had were certainly more polite than my ATCs -- less detailed and in your face, for sure. As my Irish...
